Jorge: I just tried out my new Yamaha CM500 as well.
The K3's back panel has 3.5mm connectors for headset and phones. The Yamaha CM500 has the appropriate connectors for the back panel. I did not need the Yamaha's little in-line bias battery device. Instead I changed the K3's MAIN:MIC SEL menu option to "Rear Panel, high input, bias on", which appears as "RP.H BIAS". See the K3 Owner's manual pages 20 and 28 a summary on page 52. It sounds great, and feels like it's going to be a very comfortable headset at a very good price.

Can you use the red adapter from Heil thay you connect to your Kenwood radio MIC and will work? Or you need to rewire something?

Every time I take them off one earpiece slides up the headband. May be a time for a dab of RTV.

I bought a few different headsets and compared them to each other and to my MH2 Elecraft hand mic, both via on the air reports and by listening on another rig in the shack. Amazingly, the cheapest headset (URL below) of all of them worked best. Great audio reports (I often have people comment on the good audio while I'm running in a contest), very lightweight with not much pressure on the ears, and a nice long mic boom with a large foam windsock. I honestly can't imagine why anyone would pay more for a headset unless they preferred full-cup earphones or needed ambient noise cancellation. I've used this one for several months and it has held up just fine. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?Sku=B45 1-3010 73, Dave AB7E Svend Spanget wrote: > > K3. > > I use the absolutely cheapest PC-headset, I could find.
